Free Web NovelChapter 171: Chapter 171: Lin Yan Silently Shuts Up
Lin Yan opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn’t say anything more.
A single suit for over a million. You didn’t see that kind of treatment every day.
Even he had never bought a suit worth over a million.
"You can decide for yourselves, but given the situation, you’ll need to provide me with a written statement that everyone has signed and thumb-printed."
We are an official agency, after all. Every transfer needs to be accounted for, or else people might try to exploit loopholes.
A situation like this, where the names of the service providers and the payment recipient don’t match, requires particular attention and explanation.
Yun Zijin, of course, had no objection to this request. ’How hard could it be to write a statement? A couple of sentences would do the trick.’
"No problem. I’ll write it for you now. Just a moment."
With that, Yun Zijin stood up and walked toward her study.
With Yun Zijin gone, Lin Yan and the seven members of Zero One were left staring awkwardly at each other. After a moment, both sides tacitly averted their gazes.
Yun Zijin wasn’t in the study for long before she came out holding an A4 sheet of paper. In her other hand, she also held a black pen and a small ink pad.
"Take a look. Will this statement work?"
Yun Zijin handed Lin Yan the statement she had just typed up and printed out.
Lin Yan took it and read the contents carefully.
He had to admit, Yun Zijin’s writing skills were impressive. In just a few sentences, she had clearly explained the situation and the reason for the transfer into her own account.
It seemed a bit ridiculous, but it was the truth.
Whether Lin Yan’s superiors believed it or not, Yun Zijin certainly wasn’t going to change her story.
"There are no issues. I’ll take this back, go through the procedures, and submit a reimbursement form to the finance department. That should do it."
"Alright, then let’s get it signed."
Yun Zijin took the statement back, signed her name first, and then added her thumbprint.
As for Zero One and his men, they naturally did whatever Yun Zijin told them to do.
After all, their guiding principle was to put their young miss first in all things.
Although Lin Yan thought Zero One and his men’s behavior was a bit like that of brainwashed cult members, the thought of their million-dollar suits kept him from saying anything more.
A boss willing to buy million-dollar custom suits for her bodyguards was truly a rare find.
’Lin Yan even felt that if someone offered him such generous treatment, he’d be willing to work without a salary.’
"Alright, everything’s signed. Call me when all the paperwork is complete."
The implication was clear: Lin Yan shouldn’t bother her again until the paperwork was finalized.
Of course, Lin Yan understood her unspoken message, but he wasn’t offended.
He’d be too embarrassed to see her again without having completed the paperwork anyway.
As soon as Lin Yan left with the statement from Yun Zijin, a housekeeper came over and cleared away the teacup he had been using.
Just then, Wang Minli came out of the kitchen. "Miss, breakfast is ready. Huh? Where did that gentleman go?"
Even though Wang Minli hadn’t come out earlier, she knew Yun Zijin was with a guest.
"He had something to do, so he left. Let’s go eat. Don’t worry about him."
Lin Yan’s timing had been unfortunate; he hadn’t even managed to snag a free breakfast.
Since Yun Zijin had said as much, Wang Minli naturally didn’t press the issue. Her only duty was to serve Yun Zijin.
Having woken up early, Yun Zijin finished breakfast before it was even 8:00 a.m.
’When she got bored, she always looked for something to do.’
Yun Zijin went up to the rooftop garden. The Moonlight Grass she had planted earlier had already grown thigh-high.
According to the information provided by Randomly Spend, this was the height the Moonlight Grass reached when it entered its mature phase.
Once mature, Moonlight Grass wouldn’t wither easily. As long as it wasn’t deliberately destroyed, each plant could last for at least a year.
Withered Moonlight Grass couldn’t re-root or sprout again; it had to be dug up and replaced with a new plant.
’In Yun Zijin’s opinion, Moonlight Grass was perfect for planting in urban greenbelts.’
Its growth cycle was short, and it could last for at least a year without withering. Once it did, you just had to dig it up and replant another one, making it incredibly easy to maintain.
Most importantly, Moonlight Grass emitted a soft glow at night. If it were planted along urban greenbelts, entire stretches of road would be illuminated, with a brightness rivaling streetlights.
However, Yun Zijin didn’t have many Moonlight Grass Seeds herself, so promoting it on a large scale was unrealistic.
Looking at the Moonlight Grass Seeds in her hand, Yun Zijin decided to start by planting some at Jade Lake and her Villa 1 at Xingyu Mansion.
’It was her property, after all. She could do whatever she wanted with it.’
With that thought, Yun Zijin checked the time and called Wang Zhongxin.
Wang Zhongxin had just gotten to work when he received Yun Zijin’s call and immediately headed over to Building 101.
However, Wang Zhongxin would only be responsible for planting the Moonlight Grass at Jade Lake; Yun Zijin entrusted the planting at Xingyu Mansion to Wang Minli.
"Miss Yun, all this... Moonlight Grass, you want it all planted in the community’s greenbelts?"
"Our community’s landscaping was professionally designed. If we suddenly replant everything with Moonlight Grass, won’t it affect the overall aesthetic?"
’The truth was, he’d never planted it before, so he had no idea what the result would be.’
The people who rent at Jade Lake aren’t short on money. If planting Moonlight Grass negatively impacts the overall scenery of Jade Lake, it could affect rental prices.
"Let’s plant it and see how it looks. If it’s ugly, we can always change it back."
"As for the plants we dig up, you can ask around and see who wants them. Sell them cheap or give them away, I’ll leave it up to you."
"Deposit the money from the sale into the community’s public fund. We can use it for future equipment maintenance and repairs."
While Yun Zijin wasn’t short on cash, she wasn’t one to spend recklessly when she could save.
Hearing this, what else could Wang Zhongxin say? ’Yun Zijin’s rich, so if she wants to mess around, she can,’ he thought. ’As an employee, I just do what the boss says.’
As for the permits required to dig up the landscaping, he could sort that out by making a few trips to the relevant authorities.
None of this was anything Yun Zijin needed to worry about.
Wang Minli was also tasked with a small bag of Moonlight Grass Seeds, which were to be planted in the greenbelts at Xingyu Mansion.
Wang Minli wasn’t familiar with the permits needed for landscaping work, so after receiving the Moonlight Grass Seeds, she went to ask Wang Zhongxin about it.
As a member of the household staff, her job was simply to carry out the tasks she was given, not to ask too many questions.
By the time the Moonlight Grass situation was sorted out, it was almost 10:00 a.m.
Just then, Yun Zijin’s phone rang.
The caller ID showed Su Mengyao. Yun Zijin swiped to answer.
"Hello..."
"Zijin, have you left yet?"
Through the earpiece, Yun Zijin could hear a cacophony of noise on Su Mengyao’s end, with the occasional car horn blaring.
"Not yet, but I’m about to leave."
"I’m already at Wanyuan Square! You need to hurry over!"
Su Mengyao sounded a bit frantic.
"We agreed to meet at 11:30. Aren’t you a little early?"
’Yun Zijin was speechless. Since when was Su Mengyao so eager to go out?’
’Doesn’t she usually make a point of being at least ten minutes late?’
